They’re really trying their best to make windows as unfriendly as possible, pretty annoying when they’ve already been paid, bunch of pricks

Yep what a wild thing, to try and filter email domains so they can try and find “fake” providers

It’s absolutely wild to read. This bloke absolutely has issues, what a weirdo

Well at least they cleaned up the area, though it’ll just be overrun next week when the international dignitaries leave and it all goes back to normal

It’s a feature not a bug!

Used unity for my last 3 games and I’m getting really really tired of their shithouse performance over the last 3-4 years. They’ve gone from constantly making new features, tutorials and systems to barely doing anything.

Engines need constant feature packed updates, not bare bones rubbish. For example there’s no DLSS support for URP, it only works in HDRP. There’s also “no plans” for it according to the devs, which boggles the mind considering URP is arguably the better platform for mobile, console and regular console gaming.

Game engines should be rapidly evolving and supporting these features, they should take 3-4 years to get commonly implements features or to have to rely on third party plugins to make them happen.

Playing the long con! Tell them about this extra account to throw them off his scent

Finally some actual good news for a change, let me break out the bubbles! 🍾🥂

I get there’s a heap of people on here who’ve somehow never seen these new anti-popup measures before, but they’re definitely becoming more prevalent.

I switched to uBlock and purged the caches and it seems to have fixed the issue (for now anyway)

At some point I’ll have to find a more permanent solution like switching browsers but right now things are working

This is the best take on here. There’s no more “just trust me bro” tolerance anymore, too many things have just turned into vaporware over the years and now until I physically see it, it doesn’t exist

This artist has a shithouse personality. How thin skinned do you have to be that any criticism warrants that type of petty approach, jeeze

Finally some feel good news for a change

Fancy. Wonder how decent the geometry will end up being (if it’ll try and pull him a catalogue of decent models or if it’ll use photogrammetry resources to try and generate it)

This is a pretty interesting usage for sure.

Also worth noting that Skylines 2 comes out on Xbox game pass day 1. You can usually pick up a trial for a fortnight, that’s a pretty perfect opportunity to try this on PC (to see how bad it runs for you)

That’s what I’ll be doing, trying it out and most likely skipping it for a few months while they polish it up

You can pick up game pass (which skylines 2 will be coming out on the 24th)

It’s only a buck for 14 days (though that might be region specific) so I’m definitely going to pick it up and give it a go to see how bad the performance is

They’re ugly looking now, that’s the issue. skylines 2 definitely is an improvement over 1, but it’s not an astronomical improvement (like the difference you’d notice with some franchises moving from unreal engine 4 to 5)

The amount of raw performance needed to power this game is what’s shocking. It’s just a lack of optimisation.

I think I’m pretty confident in saying most people aren’t interested in sub 60 FPS, especially if it’s at 1080p and looking the way it does (which is mostly flat and unimpressive)

That’s the most shocking part, the high-end hardware needed to brute force a 1080p game at acceptable framerates

Really disappointed that after a solid 3-4 months of dev diaries, open communication and hype for the game, they drop this performance bombshell on us at the last moment.

They get points for at least giving everyone a weeks notice, but that’s clearly a calculated move (compared to if they kept it quiet entirely and it launched with people unaware)

I’m not instead on playing sub 60 FPS games at 1080p, especially not when I’ve got a 4090+13900k and it crushes almost every other game in existence. The game isn’t pretty enough to justify such terrible performance, it’s just purely unoptimized now.

Why there’s no DLSS / FSR also at launch is baffling, it helps GPU bottlenecked necked games greatly (even if boosting from a native 30 to 60 is a bit yuck)

Really disappointed

Exactly what he wanted, money. He’s not interested in the slightest with factual information unless there’s some way he can use it for his own benefit

Truly amazing. 2023 really is the year for less for more
